I baked green tea cupcakes today! I haven't tasted them yet, still waiting for them to cool to frost them. I love green tea and I love cupcakes, so I figure I can't go wrong. Aren't they beautiful!
I used Magnolia Bakery's vanilla cupcake recipe (I halved the recipe so that I'd just get 12 cupcakes, but I actually ended up with 13) and added 1.5 tablespoons of green tea powder. Not sure if this is enough, but after I taste it I will know.
Am going to frost with Chockylit's green tea cream cheese frosting, which I will also halve.
The best way to spend time? Having a cup of Japanese green tea and a piece of cake at the local coffee shop. ;)
This is the first of a series of paintings inspired by tea :)
This is a powdered green tea chocolate.
The taste of powdered green tea is thicker than that of the green tea.
The taste was good though the color didn't look good.

Okay, notes:
First, I started with the recipe from VEGAN CUPCAKES TAKE OVER THE WORLD. I bought "sweet matcha" instead of "matcha" because that's all they had at Tea Drops. Now, I asked the woman behind the counter if there was a difference and she told me there was not. As it turns out, there is. So I altered the recipe, adding an extra tsp of sweet matcha (for a total of 5) and decreasing the sugar by 2T (I'd read these could be too sweet). The flavor of the cupcake is pretty good, honestly. It's super moist -- almost a little too moist? My taster and I decided it was skating close to doughy. We both liked the flavor but we're not convinced this is the best we can do. (Our next trial batch will not be vegan, alas.)
The icing is the big disappointment. I had envisioned this solid sheet of white ganache with a delicate marzipan flower floating on top. NOPE. The ganache soaked into the cupcake immediately, providing a beautiful sheen but NO WHITE. Wah wah. (Look up there, you can tell which got icing and which did not by the shine.) I even added some confectioner's sugar to the ganache to try and keep it opaque... no luck. The next batch will likely get a traditional buttercream icing.
I should also note that yes, there are some brown spots. This is because I wasn't terribly careful filling the cups. I knew they were my test batch, afterall.
The color combo totally reminds me of the HULK.

EDITED TO ADD:
Miss April and I each just had a quarter of a cupcake (one of the "glazed" ones) with a cup of coffee and HOLY CRAP was that good. So even though these are not the cupcakes you're looking for (for your party), they pair incredibly well with a hot cup of strong black coffee. I mean, wow.
Matcha is a variety of finely-powdered green tea. The cultural activity called the Japanese tea ceremony centers on the preparation, serving, and drinking of matcha. In modern times, matcha has also come to be used to flavour and dye foods such as mochi and soba noodles, green tea ice cream and a variety sweets.
Matcha sau pudra de ceai verde este un concentrat de ceai verde ce provine din Japonia. O cana de ceai Matcha este de 10 ori mai concentrat decat ceaiul preparat din frunze de ceai verde. Acum se foloseste si la gatit, mai ales la prepararea deserturilor, sosurilor pentru paste si shakeurilor.

Some major stress at work has reintroduced tea-drinking into my nightly routine, and I didn't realize how much I missed it. Jonathan and I had a really nice night, and then I drank my tea watching The Daily Show's coverage of the Democratic Convention, which was A+

Mum got us some mooncakes from KL. More photos to come :)
A nice combination of green tea and pu er tea in the mooncake. The lotus and red bean pastes were also quite smooth without being too oily.
